    Why You Keep Overthinking Your Emotions (and How to Actually Process Them)

    Have you ever journaled for hours, talked it out with your therapist, listened to every podcast episode about healing — and still felt stuck? If you're a woman who lives deeply in her mind, constantly analyzing her emotions instead of actually feeling them, this episode is for you. In today's conversation, we're diving into the pattern of over-intellectualizing emotion — what it looks like, why so many of us default to it, and why all the self-awareness in the world won't set you free if it stays in your head. Through the lens of devotional somatic yoga for women and nervous system healing, we'll explore how to gently move out of analysis mode and back into your body — where real transformation lives. Whether you're new to gentle and restorative yoga and inner work or you've been on this path for a while, this episode will give you practical, embodied tools to start feeling, expressing, and releasing what you've been carrying. This is the heart of what we do here at The Nourished Woman — and it just might be the permission slip you didn't know you needed. - - -  🌿 Start Here  - Free Resources for Women Ready to Grow Turn off Your Brain, Lay Down and Rest with Me For self-aware women who are stuck in your head and ready to feel grounded & at home in your body.

    Perimenopause, Self-Love, and Yoga Practice with Kat Smith

    Perimenopause doesn’t just shift your hormones — it often shifts the questions you’re willing to ask about your life. In this episode, I sit down with yoga teacher, Enneagram teacher, and TEDx speaker Kat Smith for an honest conversation about midlife, motherhood, and the moment many women realize they’ve been holding everything together while quietly running on empty. We talk about self-trust, desire, and how yoga and nervous system practices can support women through the emotional and physical changes of perimenopause. If you’re navigating midlife, feeling stretched thin, or craving a deeper connection with yourself, this conversation offers perspective, compassion, and practical insight. Meet Kat Smith Kat is an E-RYT 500 yoga teacher, certified Enneagram teacher, Co-host of the Enneagram+ Yoga podcast and TEDx speaker who helps people better understand themselves through the powerful combination of yoga and the Enneagram. What began as a simple search for a workout before a ski trip quickly turned into a lifelong passion for yoga and the inner transformation it creates. Today, Kat is known for her grounded, thoughtful teaching style and her ability to help people uncover their patterns, connect with their strengths, and live with more authenticity, balance, and self-awareness—both on and off the mat.

    If Meditation and Restorative Yoga Feels Hard. Let's talk.

    If you’ve been waiting for meditation, breathwork, or restorative yoga to “finally feel easy”… this is your loving reality check. Learning to be still is a skill. And like any new skill — playing guitar, lifting weights, having hard conversations — it’s awkward at first. Your mind will wander. Your body will fidget. You will feel anything but enlightened and likely come up against anxiety at some point. That doesn’t mean you’re bad at meditation or restorative yoga. It means you’re building capacity. In this episode, we talk about why high-functioning women especially struggle with stillness — and why that’s not a flaw, it’s a training ground. We move beyond the fantasy of instant calm and into what actually creates embodied confidence and nervous system resilience: repetition, honesty, and small, devotional reps.  If you’re ready to stop waiting for calm to magically descend and start practicing your way into steadiness, this conversation will give you both the gentle nudge and the grounded truth you need.

    From Sexual Trauma to Self-Trust: Reclaim Your Body and Find Confidence with Kat Beck

    In this episode, Kat Beck and I speak honestly about healing from body image issues, sexual trauma, chronic health concerns, and the long road back to feeling at home in your own body. We share what it actually took for us to become women who embody real self-confidence — not the loud, performative kind, but the grounded kind that comes from honoring your intuition, leaning on community, and learning to feel safe inside yourself again. If you’ve ever longed for the seemingly effortless confidence another woman has while feeling disconnected from your body and doubting your intuition — this conversation offers an illuminating and deep take on how to get there. Get to Know Kat Kat Beck is an energy worker, somatic guide, and founder of Mystic Medicine, where she helps women release old emotional patterns and reconnect with the strength and clarity within their bodies.
